I loved answering your questions! Here's what we dig into in this first Q&A! 

How do you divide time between marketing and creating your own art?

How big is your mailing list? How many fans do we need?

Can you crowdfund vinyl without a large email list just being found on Kickstarter and maybe adding Facebook/IG ads?

Do Facebook ads work / are they necessary?

I see a lot of RPG Kickstarters where a large part of the backers (40-50%) came through Kickstarter itself. Is there anything we can do to increase Kickstarter serving up our project to their audience?

I'd like to start a Patreon but feel that I don't have enough time/energy to make extra rewards that could be exclusive to patrons. What kind of rewards could you suggest that still give value to supporters but won't require a ton of time making extra content?

How do I find an audience for my weird niche thing?

How do you make yourself pick and focus on a project that is feasible in the limited time that you have, despite having too many ideas?

I run a small animation studio. We’re preparing a crowdfunding campaign for an animated short film. As the director what should I be doing 3 months away from the campaign?

I stream games on Twitch. How do I grow my audience from 10 (half of whom are family) to 100 and beyond while maintaining that small community feeling?
